When identifying the zodiac signs' physical characteristics, you don't want to look at just the Sun sign. You also want to look at the Ascendant (or Rising Sign). The Sun sign is more about a person's inner drive, willpower, and motivation. The Ascendant is about how individuals present themselves to the world, including how they look.
So if you are a Sagittarius Sun with a Cancer Ascendant, you first want to look at Cancer to learn about your health, behavior, and physical appearance. Then you want to look at Sagittarius.
You will find some matching zodiac physical characteristics when you look at the Sun sign, but half to two-thirds will match the Ascendant.
